The Operational Reality on Ground.

Pakistan’s intelligence-based counterterrorism operations in Tirah Valley demonstrate a calibrated, lawful, and civilian-centered approach to dismantling entrenched extremist sanctuaries.

Tirah Valley, long exploited by Kharij networks and their facilitators, has been subjected to sustained intelligence-based operations (IBOs) rather than any conventional military offensive. Grounded in intelligence, community engagement, and the Bagh Joint Action Plan (BJAP), Pakistan’s approach prioritizes civilian protection, targeted neutralization of terrorists, and the restoration of long-term stability, countering persistent propaganda with verifiable facts.
